Shockwave Issues

I take shotguns apart and clean them up when new no matter what. Sounds to me like your spring is binding up.

The magazine tube should be cleaned up with a swab and very lightly oiled. Might just fix your problem by disassembling and reassembling!

At $199, I wouldn't complain if it needs a little clean up. That's probably all it needs. I want a shockwave.

No problems from my 20 ga so far. Clean it and if it still doesn't work, Mossberg will fix it. I thought I got a deal at $289.00 w/ free shipping but $199.00 is insane.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that the "five round" figure was meant to be one in the chamber FOUR in the tube...

The mag tube will take five 2 3/4" shells, but it is tight. Consider that the mag tube is about 14 and 1/2 inches long. Assuming that your shells are actually 2 3/4" long (there is some variation depending on manufacturer), five shells require 13 and 3/4 inches. The spring and follower take up a bit of room as well.

I removed and replaced the magazine cap on my 12 ga Shockwave (replacing the aluminum follower with a derlin follower) and inadvertently flipped the spring over. I had the same kind of bind-up when I loaded the tube to capacity. Taking it apart again and carefully reassembling it resolved that issue.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I want one but don't know why. Its like coming up on a bad car wreck,you don't want to see it but you cant look away either.
